उपच्छन्नं प्रकाशं वा वृत्त्या तान् प्रतिपालयेत् । जिन ब्राह्मणोंका आचरण निन्दित न हो
upacchannaṁ prakāśaṁ vā vṛttyā tān pratipālayet |
毗湿摩说道：“当扶持这样的婆罗门——或以隐秘之法，或以公开之举——为他们筹措生计，并恒常供养，尤其当其行止无可指摘，却因缺乏衣食而受苦之时。其伦理旨趣在于：社会的守护者应主动寻访有德之人，确保其得以维持，而不使其尊严受损。”

Educational Q&A
Actively ensure the livelihood of deserving, blameless Brahmins; support may be given discreetly to preserve dignity or openly when appropriate, but it should be steady and protective in intent.
In the Anushasana Parva’s instruction section, Bhishma continues advising on dharma and social duties, emphasizing that those responsible for welfare should locate virtuous Brahmins in hardship and arrange their maintenance.
